Interfacing Software
Health Level Seven (HL7) is one of several ANSI-accredited Standards Developing
Organizations operating in the healthcare arena. Their mission is to: “To provide standards for the exchange,
management and integration of data that support clinical patient care and the management, delivery and evaluation
of healthcare services. Specifically, to create flexible, cost effective approaches, standards, guidelines, methodologies,
and related services for interoperability between healthcare information systems.”
Containing a powerful and flexible interface engine, Frontiers provides bi-directional HL7 interfaces to billing/accounts
receivable, materials management, pharmacy, registration (ADT) and inventory areas to various vendors:
What this means to a hospital is that Frontiers will not be a stand-alone departmental system, but an integral part
of the entire organization, sending information is key to how the hospital conducts its business to and from other computer systems.
